are they airtight? like if you put water in them they will not leak?

I doubt it's water tight because the lid shuts tight but does not snap shut. However, we have been using ours for a few months now and they do keep the cereal from going stale.

They are! I am still amazed by this - even after going through the dishwasher! I often bring soup or juicy fruit to work and it does not leak. Hope that helps!

Not like an airtight or waterproof seal. But I am very happy with them for just storage.

Yes, they are absolutely air tight. There is a rubber (or perhaps silicone?) gasket around each lid, and when closed makes a tight seal. I keep items such as flour, cornmeal and sugar in them safely.

I've been using them for a good while which I think is long term and so far I haven't had any problems with them. But no they aren't air tight. To make them so I would cover them with plastic wrap before putting on the cover or just find an alternative container.

No, they don't leak. We have used them for years. We use ours on our boat and it is so much easier to roll it down to the pier that carrying a heavy cooler. The pocket on the front also stays dry so that you can store corkscrews, napkins etc.

The lids fit snug. The dividers are deep. As far as leak proof, I'm not sure what you plan on doing with them. If closed and left upright I don't see them leaking.

Yes they are water tight. I put hot wings in the larger one for a party and they were still steaming an hour later. If water gets on it, or sits in water the food inside the container should be fine. Just be careful not to drop, one of my friends dropped on the driveway and cracked a piece of the handle off.

No not really. They might longer than a reg container if you had them wrapped/packed inside something thermal or insulated. Also, the lid shuts tight but if you were to fill it with water, for example, I'm sure it would leak out. It's not a complete "seal".

They are not air tight - liquids seep out if you turn them on the side. I use them in the frig and for pantry storage but have never used them in the freezer.

Well, they have holes in the tops; so I'm not exactly sure what you mean by airtight. The tops do stay on quite well, but the holes would allow air to get in.

Hi Donna, the canisters just have a seal along the edge. They are not air tight. The lids fit loosely on each one. I keep pre made coffee filters in them for the week and they always stay fresh and perfect. I love them so much and they look beautiful. I hope this helps a bit. Debbie

they are airtight and spill proof so I would guess that would make them water proof. I just stuck mine under the faucet and no water leaked in put "I" can't gaurantee that they wont leak but I love mine and the eggs seem to last longer.

I only use them for water, but simply put - if you close the lid and turn it upside down nothing comes out. So I would assume no matter what liquid you put in there it would not leak out.

Yes. I have found these containers to be leak proof. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much food they can hold. So far, they have held up nicely, and I use them frequently.
